Failing that check means you never went into hiding, essentially, was my parsing. You hit the DC15, you're hidden, then it's a check to see if someone looking for you succeeds. If you don't hit it, you never get the condition in the first place.
Not my favourite mechanic.
If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.
I think the 2024 hide rules are pretty good, but the DC 15 should be replaced with a dm adjudicated dc and a supplementary table providing examples.
Howling blizzard? dc 5
Plain room? dc 25
etc
Any sufficiently widespread magic is indistinguishable from technology.
The second funniest thing to make a D&D party do is explain morality

I probably nitpick and scrutinize too much
Probably they were following the Passive Perception from the monsters, DC 15 is bigger than most of the monster of CR 1 Passive Perception.
I don't understand why hiding while illuminated by fairie fire would make the hide check at disadvantage.
It seems like faerie fire says you can't "benefit from teh invisible condition", so it seems like it would be impossible.
I guess technically you can "get" the invisible condition but not be able to "benefit" from it, which is a weird corner case.
It doesn't. It just means that being hidden doesn't do anything, and you get instantly found if you aren't heavily obscured.
